“Can Tho, white rice and pure water All who come wish never to leave.”

The prosperity and charm of Can Tho, which is honored as the South Western Vietnam’s Capital, has been passed by tradition through this sweet folk song. Through ups and downs of history, Can Tho now has strongly developed to deserve its fame but still fully preserves the traditional beauty in immense green rice field, enchanted fruit orchard in sunshine, the alluvium-rich rivers which consolidate the unique traditional values of this waterside. 

The lure of waterside Just taking 4 hours driving from Ho Chi Minh City, you can feel the beat of Mekong Delta’s heart. Can Tho welcomes you by the shading streets, where the dance of flowers spoils you in the symphony of wind from the Hau river. This is an opportunity to visit the ancient multicultural architectures such as Can Tho old market, which is more than 100 years old, Chinese- styled Ong pagoda, Munirangsay pagoda with Khmer sculptures or Can Tho Cathedral built in French style.

However, the most unique beauty here is the complex river system, which has shaped the featured culture of this waterside: riverside houses catching the wind full of the rice fragrance, boats peacefully float on the water, the folk songs spreading over the river along with the sound of moving rows in the water. That culture is also converged in the floating markets Cai Rang, Phong Dien, where colors of Southern specialties weave a vivid painting on the sparkling river in sunshine. The riverside gem Nestled in the magnificent garden on the banks of the Bassac river, the colonial architecture of the Victoria Can Tho Resort is like a marvelous note in accompaniment of the natural beautiful environment to make a symphony of relaxation.

This imposing resort offers 92 guest rooms including 28 Superior rooms, 56 Deluxe rooms and 8 Victoria Suites. Each room combines the elegance of local traditional handicraft with the comfort of international hotel. Especially from June 25th to September 30th, the resort carried out renovations in some bathrooms such as upgrading the floor and changing the equipments to bring guests the wallow in genuine luxury.
